Appearance

The Monkey Miraculous is a circlet traditionally depicted on the monkey king in Chinese mythology. In the Miracle Box, it is long, thin, and black (but later is confirmed to have a reversed coloration in "Party Crasher") two of its sides bend inward like the temples on glasses, and the edges curl inward in a spiral-like manner. The middle of the Miraculous also bends, and it has five light brown square pieces on one side. When worn, it is unfolded and put on the wearer's head as he/she says the transformation phrase to transform.

When worn by Marinette, in its camouflaged form, it appears as a striped pink headband.
